Beijing, September 25 (Xinhua) — China's nuclear policy is characterized by a high degree of stability, continuity, and predictability, Chinese Ministry of Defense spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang stated at a press conference on Thursday.
Zhang Xiaogang made the statement in response to a request to comment on the military parade recently held in China to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, where China for the first time demonstrated its "nuclear triad," including strategic land-, sea-, and air-based forces.
According to the official, China firmly adheres to a defensive nuclear strategy, strictly adhering to the no-first-use policy and committing not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear-weapon states or in nuclear-free zones.
Zhang Xiaogang noted that China always maintains its nuclear forces at the minimum level necessary to ensure national security and does not participate in any form of arms race.
“China’s nuclear weapons are intended solely for defense and self-defense, ensuring national strategic security, and protecting world peace and stability,” the official representative of the PRC Ministry of Defense emphasized. –0–
